Comprehensive Gynecologic Surgical Services
We offer a wide range of gynecologic surgical procedures aimed at addressing various reproductive health issues and improving overall quality of life. Our experienced surgeons are proficient in performing both major and minor surgeries, utilizing the latest advancements in surgical techniques and technology to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.
Major Gynecologic Surgery:
For women facing complex gynecologic conditions that require surgical intervention, our team is equipped to provide advanced care and support throughout the treatment process.
Some of the major gynecologic surgeries we perform include:
- Hysterectomy: This surgical procedure involves the removal of the uterus and may also include the removal of other reproductive organs such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Hysterectomy may be recommended for conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse, or gynecologic cancers.
- Myomectomy: Myomectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. This option may be suitable for women who wish to maintain their fertility or avoid undergoing a hysterectomy.
- Oophorectomy: Oophorectomy involves the surgical removal of one or both ovaries and may be performed as part of a hysterectomy or independently. This procedure may be recommended for conditions such as ovarian cysts, endometriosis, or ovarian cancer.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair: Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic organs, such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum, descend into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. Our doctors can recommend treatments such as pessaries or pelvic floor physical therapy or they can advise when surgical repair may be necessary to correct this condition in order to alleviate symptoms such as pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, or difficulty with bowel movements.
Minor Gynecologic Surgery:
In addition to major surgical interventions, we also offer a variety of minor gynecologic procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating common gynecologic issues. These procedures are often performed on an outpatient basis and typically involve minimal discomfort and recovery time. Some examples of minor gynecologic surgeries we perform include:
- Colposcopy: Colposcopy is a procedure used to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of abnormal cells or lesions. It is often performed in cases where a Pap smear indicates abnormal results or as a follow-up to abnormal cervical screening tests.
- Hysteroscopy: Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows for direct visualization of the inside of the uterus using a thin instrument called a hysteroscope. It may be used to diagnose and treat conditions such as uterine polyps, fibroids, or abnormal uterine bleeding.
- Endometrial Ablation: Endometrial ablation is a procedure used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding by destroying the lining of the uterus (endometrium). It is a less invasive alternative to hysterectomy for women who wish to avoid surgery.
Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP): LEEP is a surgical procedure used to remove abnormal cervical tissue (dysplasia) identified during a colposcopy or biopsy. It involves using a thin wire loop heated by an electrical current to excise the abnormal tissue from the cervix.
